Old Hickory Lake Guide Service Fishing Report- 02/01/2015- 02/14/2015

The above pictures are a school of fish we graphed over, immediately cast into and caught this 5+ pounder out of. It was a lot of fun catching several fish out of that school.  There has not been much change over the last month or so in the fishing on Old Hickory but I believe that is about to change. After this weeks absolutely frigid weather and all the snow melt it will be very interesting to see what it does to the bite. As I see it we have 2 possibilities: 1) the drastic drop in water temp could kill off a ton of the shad and we could have a great bite for several days. If this happens the jerk bait will be killer; 2) with the sudden drop in water temps, the bite shuts completely off and fishing will be super tough. Hopefully it will be the first of the two and the bite never quits. Prior to the front fishing was good with some big limits of fish being caught and water temps hanging in the mid to lower 40s.  Water clarity has remained good with just the right amount of stain.

 The deep bite has been most consistent for us and we have been focusing on creek channels, ditches on the main lake and bluff ends.  The bluffs are defiantly holding fish right now but with everyone fishing them we have elected to spend a lot of time graphing/fishing offshore spots. While it usually takes a lot of time to find these type of spots, if you find one usually it is all yours and the fishing can be unbelievable. Understanding and being able to interoperate what your graph is telling you is imperative.

Our best baits have been the Fish Terror Baits Thundering Herd with Bass Kandi Baits Costal Crippler in white/chart, jerkbaits, dd crankbaits and jigs tipped with Bass Kandi Baits Speed Bug trailer. We keep the colors very simple and go natural with a little added chartreuse.

Spring is just around the corner and my spring dates are starting to fill up. Call today and get your preferred days reserved! Here at OHGS we use brand new high grade fishing equipment from Denali Rods, Lews reels, Sunline, Santone Jigs, Fish Terror Baits, Bass Kandi Baits, and other top of the line equipment.
